The Logic Off Topic list

ok.. I'll give this one more shot because you are obviously 
offended and defensive and I don't want you to be offended by my 
internet words since I have no reason to piss off my internet 
Logic using friends. I simply gave my opinion, which I still think 
is valid for me to have even if it is not yours.

> I have explained this again 
> and again. It's not about a resume. 

then why bring up your famous classmates which not everyone 
thinks are as great as you think they are? I will not opine on 
whether i think they are great or cookie cutter or not because it 
doesn't matter what i think about them and I'm glad you are 
proud of having been in school with them. different strokes, like i 
said before. I have many people I went to school with as well that 
are famous but i don't think that's the point of this conversation.

> People I was in class with are not a 
> resume (please don't make me repeat that yet again). 

you just said it twice, you must really be trying to convince 
yourself you are right. if it's not a resume then what is it? If you 
went to school with God or whoever your favorite musician in the 
world is it doesn't make the school better, does it? well, it might 
for that semester if you get to play with them. it makes the hang 
better for you for sure. and what about admitting the *posers* to 
your fine institution? The school knows they have no future in the 
music wolrd? Does the school want me to think it has integrity 
when they are just fooling non musicians into giving them money 
so they can give the talented people scholarships? I guess it's a 
business like any other and they do what they have to do to stay 
on top.... oh boy now I've done it

> My POINT is that these 
> people are not cookie cutter, 

 to you they are not. I have no opinion one way or another, I am 
just OPEN to other opinions besides yours

>thus disproving your point completely. I am 
> not offended in the least, 

yes, you've disproved my point alright... boy do i feel dumb 
(blatant sarcasm) you really won the debate on whether berklee 
is good or not... I didn't say it was bad at any point by the way, just 
FELT like a FACTORY to ME, the retard. hahaha

>I just don't want your opinion to misguide 
> others because it is far from the truth (or lets say complete 
>truth as I 
> don't want to dictate what your experience was). 

yes Mr. Policeman, please don't arrest me for my opinion. I have 
this friend John ashcroft who you might want to meet.

>And thus my examples which 
> you don't seem to get the point of, 

i get them fully over and over. it is my point you fail to 
acknowledge my humble internet friend

>prove that. I too am living proof as 
> well. You could say 'when I was there for two weeks, I didn't 
have a good 
> experience because....'. 

true, because it felt like a factory TO ME, but not Colin Miller... ok? 
good enough for ya?

> But no, you said it along the lines of 'If you 
> like the factory thing and don't want a well rounded education'.

that's how I talk, I live in NYC pal, get used to it., I have no reason 
to apologize for being direct..  is there a reason I should beat 
around the bush for you?

 > I don't 
> even think your intent is bad or malicious

it's not, you're right... *sigh* I'm a very lovable charachter. come to 
my house, I'll make you a nice Mozarella sandwich and teach you 
some new chords

>But you are probably also unaware that you are in essence 
> calling me a poser, a cookie-cutter, etc, etc and come off with a 
snobby 
> attitude (Probably not your intent, but all the same... ). 

I never said that, don't be paranoid! jeez. besides, you are the 
one who brought the phrase cookie cutter to the table.

> You're calling 
> BT, Paul Cole, people like that the same thing. Now if Britney 
Spears and

(little humor).

like I said before, to YOU your classmates are not cookie cutter. I 
am not saying that I think they are, I am just saying they must be 
to someone out there.

likewise, I'm sure there are people who think britanny is the real 
deal. I'm not saying I think that but there must be someone who 
can play who likes her... oh ya! Mike Brecker told my friend he 
liked her first record! a true story... go figure... stay open : ) go 
with it... relax.... good... it's really true. didn't he go to Berklee at 
some point?

>So if you

you not be

weeks and said it was 
> a factory?

no, not at all. I would say, "oh, dude, you missed out on a good 
place even though there were lots of people who shouldn't have 
been there... it got better later. Nick Batzdorf, good example.

try to stay open Colin, it's good for your heart
